Caster
I know that you know I always start my recommendations with some whimsical anecdote from my youth or my early professional career. The other device I use is comparing a game to something that I have seen in the past. Well, this entry will use two of the three to double your pleasure! When I first started checking out Elecorn’s Caster, everything from the POV, the environments, and even the visual effects reminded me of an old Interplay PC game called Evolva, which I helped integrate into Heat.net (check out the link – nothing to brag about). It was a fascinating game, in which you are able to adapt DNA into your body to improve your body’s defenses, weaponry, etc. Unfortunately, in an era when most games sucked up more resources than readily available on the majority of computers, it’s visuals did not compensate for some lacking areas in gameplay. Fortunately, Caster does not have these failings at any level as you rid the world of an invading alien bug infestation called the Flanx. Destroying the natural resources of the land, the Flanx comes in many forms that you need eliminate by dashing, jumping, and shooting pulse weapons from your hand. While the controls requires a slight learning curve, there is no denying that the smooth 3D graphics, responsive controls, challenging missions, and overall polish is worthy of a download. The screenshot alone speaks volumes. Price: $2.99.
